Teeth that have suffered a traumatic impact will sometimes turn brown - fortunately this can be corrected simply and conservatively with a process called internal bleaching. Here is a situation where we used this technique to turn a tooth back to its natural shade.

Bonding is a conservative and affordable approach to improving smile esthetics. Here is a case that we did for a patient who wanted a straighter, whiter smile. No invasive drilling of teeth or lengthy orthodontics is required for this procedure, just a few hours in the chair. (Note that Gums will be inflamed for a couple of days but this will self resolve).

Here is a smile that we fixed that had a few cavities along the gumline 🙂

Here are a few fillings that we did recently to restore some large cavities on a patient's front teeth.
Have you ever been curious what a procedure like this looks like in real life? Check out my youtube channel "Behind the Loupes" where I share narrated procedures going through the steps 🙂

Here is an upper and lower "All on 4" dental implant case that we completed by mounting full sets of zirconia teeth, made right here in the office, over top. These teeth are permanently fixed in the mouth and do not need to be removed!

What does an "all-on-4" dental implant surgery look like? Here is a case where we placed the 4 implants during the same procedure of removing the teeth, which reduces the time and morbidity associated with the process. This patient will have a brand new set of solidly mounted white teeth in just a couple months thanks to this technique.

Here is a set of teeth that we fixed up. These teeth were manufactured in house and installed in the mouth 24 hours after the procedure and the patient was thrilled :) It's always great not only to restore function and address decay and wear, but to restore a patient's confidence in their smile is one of the most rewarding things we do!

Have you ever wondered about how teeth are placed with dental implants? Here was a simple case we did in my clinic to replace missing molars with dental impl...

Goldilocks - dentistry edition! One of the nice things about making our own dental products in house is the added level of control it gives us. This was a case for a patient that broke a front tooth. Normally these are very technical to get an exact match but with an in-house lab we can easy mill out different shades to ensure that the final product is a near perfect match. Not to mention we did this in under 24 hours. This is simply not possible without an in-house CAD-CAM machine and chairside custom staining.

Here is what the fully baked teeth look like after they come out of the furnace and ready to be installed in the mouth. There are 4 implant fixtures here and next post will show these parts with the metal adapters bonded that engage with the dental implants.
